Woke up at 9:00 am and had some breakfast at home – I caught up with chatting with a few friends online (due to the time difference the best time to chat is in the morning New Zealand time). I sliced up the onions and mushrooms the cooked up the mince, added the tomatoes, seasoning and chilli mixes – low and slow which took a couple of hours. For lunch I had some toast and a protein bar however I found on the hard way that my microwave died when I tried to soften the butter – a loud bang, the light stayed on and the rotating plate stopped moving. I guess it has had a good life given that it lasted over 10 years.

I took the bus down to Noel Leeming to buy a new microwave – found one for $349 on special but I had to be careful to ensure that it fit on my bench so I decided to go for the 27L model.

I haven’t given it a try yet but the lack of a rotating plate should provide more as well as it being easier to keep clean. When mum comes over I’ll use it to heat up the chilli for the soft shell tacos.
